THE WATER CYCLE

Diagram Showing the Water Cycle

EXPLANATION: EVAPORATION The Sun will Emit Energy that will Heat the Earth’s Surfaces and cause Water Vapours to Evaporate from Oceans, Rivers and Lakes TRANSPIRATION Transpiration from PLants Releases Water Vapour into the Air and will Evaporate CONDENSATION As Moist Air Rises and Cools Down, Water Vapours will Condense to Form Liquid Water that will Produce Clouds PRECIPITATION As Water Droplets in Clouds become Bigger and Heavier, they will Fall as Rain, Snow and Sleet
